Description
The proposed training course aims to provide ideas and skills for using new technologies, mainly in communication and infor-matics, to improve the quality of the work carried out by their organizations and, increasing the awareness of the safer internet for the youth workers. Before the application process, it should be clearly understood by the applicant that UNETECH is not designed for corporate environment personnel: specifically explained, it is not for technology specialists, such as help desk experts, or any other type of IT professionals who heavily use technology/database systems/information systems in the corporate environment. This TC is actually for individuals in non-profit areas: it is for Youth workers, Youth leaders, Coaches (in non-profit Youth), Project Coordinators/Project Managers, Junior trainers, and non-profit Mentors who are working/volunteering in small to mid-size youth organizations or working/volunteering in youth organizations that are active in rural areas of their country. In order to reach the aims of TC, the focus will be laid on three possible issues that new technologies can be utilized most efficiently in a youth organization; networking, recruiting and inclusion of young people, and promoting the using safer internet for children and youngsters. For the youth organizations, during stages of capacity building, utilizing internet and safer social media also give way to an eco-friendly and cost efficient life style and work style. This causes understanding how we can save our world by using renewable energy resources, and other relevant means. Meanwhile, the new technologies allow organizations to improve and increase the inclusion of young people and also young people with disabilities. Already, there have been several successful initiatives and projects that used computers and internet to include young people with disabilities. In terms of networking, the training will offer knowledge and skills on using the internet for organizations to establish contacts with other organizations with similar aims and objectives and work together in creating potential partnerships for joint projects. Not so long ago, organizations mainly relied on in-person/face to face meetings or made use of limited technologies to establish contacts among themselves. This was particularly difficult for rural organizations or organizations with limited resources working in different settings. However, nowadays, any organization can make themselves visible through efficient use of internet and social media, with that easily establish contacts in a very cost efficient way to create networks. So then, these networks, today, are established in a more eco-friendly and cost efficient ways. The young people are online more and their digital competences are getting developed everyday. However, it is also true that a digital division exists between the young people and their parents, which is causing a dilemma about the guidance and protection of the children and young people. This is particularly true for groups with fewer opportunities and families with less opportunity in education areas.
Expected profile of this TC's candidate participants:
• No prior experience on information technologies (IT / ITC) are needed, however at least 3 months of youth work experience is necessary to apply.
• The participants should be well informed about their organisation (if they are part of any) and prepared to explain their “activities” to other participants.
• The participants should be a legal resident in a Youth in Action program countries (please find out if you live in a programme country before you apply).
• The participants must be 18 years or older.
• The working language of the training course will be English, so the participants should have excellent communication skills in English.
